Soyuz MS-10 was a manned Soyuz MS spaceflight which aborted shortly after launch on 11 October 2018[2][3] due to a failure of the Soyuz booster rocket.[4][5] MS-10 was the 139th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. It was intended to transport two members of the Expedition 57 crew to the International Space Station. A few minutes after liftoff, the craft went into contingency abort due to a booster failure and had to return to Earth. Both crew members, Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and NASA astronaut Nick Hague, were recovered alive in good health.[4] The MS-10 flight abort was the first instance of a Russian manned booster accident at high altitude in 43 years, since Soyuz 18a similarly failed to make orbit in April 1975.[5]
Soyuz MS-11 is a Soyuz spaceflight planned for December 2018.[1] It will transport three members of the Expedition 58 crew to the International Space Station. MS-11 will be the 140th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew will consist of a Russian commander, and an American and a Canadian flight engineer.

At the end of 2011, Deep Impact was re-targeted towards asteroid (163249) 2002 GT which it would reach in January 2020. At the time of re-targeting, whether or not a related science mission would be carried out in 2020 was yet to be determined, based on NASA's budget and the health of the probe.[72] A 71-second engine burn on October 4, 2012, changed the probe's velocity by 2 m/s (6.6 ft/s) to keep the mission on track.[73]
